ABSTRACT . ..
Distress problems in .Nigerian financial institutions resulted into their liquidation.
I Prior to the distress syndrome, many financial institutions could not respond very effectively ~
to the needs of small-holder farmers in Nigeria. I
However, empirical evidence shows that debt recovery is one major constraint of
most financial institutions. It was in view of the identified problem that a research was
carried out in Enugu State of Nigeria to investigate how effective is the use )of local sanction I '
strategies for agricultural loans by farmers under the community banking system.
The result of final statistics of factor analysis showed that three factors accounted for
72.3 percent of the total variance observed in farmer' loan recovery 'rankings of nine I
attributes. Factor one alone accounted for 35.4% of the observed variance compared to I
23.3 % accounted for by factor two, and 13.6% by factor three., Thus, factor one may
therefore, be regarded as "the group's refusal of loan-debtors having share in annual feasts
amongst others or stoppage of social benefit", factor two as "non participation in elective ,
I
positions" while factor three may be regarded as "market sanctions" with Eigenvalues of ;,

Recommendations are that the edict and decree establishing community banks and
authorities as peer groups to seize and sell assets of defaulting members to offset of loans
their loan should be strengthened and entrenched with more empowerment to community I
guaranteed. Community banks' loan recovery linkages should be studied further with probit,
logit, tobit or linear probability models to improve on the gains of recent research findings.
The use of community leaders and bank officials as recovery team for loan debt is
- -
recommended.
